In a group
Ride together, simply.
A public or private group for your friends, a live ride by code to find each other on the road, a link to share the route.

A group in your image
A public group joined by its short address, or a private group by invitation; a group can also be attached to a club.
Meet up during the ride
In the saddle, create a live ride or join one with a shared code: the riders of that ride see each other's positions on the map.
A route shared in one link
The share link shows a copy masked around your private places; the GPX downloads for your bike computer, Strava or Komoot.

Your questions
Do I need a club to create a group?
No. A standalone group is created from My account, under “Club membership”, then goes through Vistavel's validation before welcoming its members.
Does a group have a calendar?
Yes: a group’s administrators schedule its outings, with their paces, sign-ups and live tracking of participants, like a club. The live outing by code is open to any Vistavel account, without a group.
